The World Spider Catalog Association WSCA

The WSCA is an association for the promotion of taxonomic and
systematic research in arachnology, including related fields.
Therefore, the WSCA collects all spider literature relevant for this
research and makes it accessible to its members. WSCA is open to all
interested scientists and we invite them to become a member of our
association (member
registration form)

WSCA has two main activities,

to collect the mentioned literature and

to make it accessible for its members with a password protected
access.

WSCA is an association under the Swiss Civil Law, without
commercial purpose. Currently, we do not require membership fees and
try to cover all expenses from donations.

All members are asked to support the WSCA with own and foreign
arachnological publications. Here is explained how you can upload
publications (PDF upload).

All members have the right to use the arachnologcial publications,
collected by the members of the WSCA, for their own scientific
purpose. By becoming a member, they accept that the usage of the
WSCA literature archive is only for their private use. They do not
post publications obtained from the WSCA literature archive on
public websites nor do they use these publications for any
commercial purpose.
